    a bit of a dog problem

    I wanted to reply to quirkysue's post also but couldn't find the right words without perhaps coming across wrong. You said what I was thinking so I'll just say ditto. I love dogs but to dismiss chickens' or other livestock deaths as something that simply needs reimbursement if it happens is...

    a bit of a dog problem

    Our neighborhood has quite a few roaming dogs. We also have many feral dogs in the area. So, we're going to build our coop well and then fence a larger area for them to 'free range' under supervision. In your shoes if I didn't feel talking to the neighbor would help, I'd fence in my yard. I...

    Pickitfarm and KrisH, that is good advice! When we're starting on the coop I'll post and see if anyone can manage some local orp chicks or pullets. We hope to start building around January and I'm down in Manning, just a bit south towards the lake. Far enough out to not be in the city limits...

    Hey everyone

    I just joined also and saw your post and had to laugh. I had to talk my husband into the whole BYC thing as well. I brought up a pond after we clear some of our backwoods on our property and said 'then maybe get some ducks' and he looked at me like I was jumping off the deep end. So maybe...
